    I spoke with the waitstaff, and apparently, they have two other restaurants with the same name in Sunnyside and Houston. I was like, good to know because I've been to the one in Sunnyside. Once you walk inside, you'll see a sign that says CASH ONLY! So be sure to have cash on hand. I think they redid the space inside and the outside. There's no need to make reservations. The menu isn't too extensive, and just know that almost everything will be fried. I had to ask what wasn't fried, and the manager said the dumplings could be steamed. My friend and I got the dumplings to start off. The tofu with mixed vegetables, two bowls of rice, spicy shrimp salt & pepper which they made mild, and Thai iced teas. They adjust the spices according to how you like it. Overall, I wish there were some non fried foods, but everything else was good.

    Sooo I've been to the Tangra in Sunnyside and had no idea there was one in Elmhurst. My friend and I shared a plate of steamed chicken momos that came with a spicy green condiment. I appreciate appetizers that come in shareable amounts. We also shared an entree of tofu and vegetables and another entree of the spicy salt and pepper shrimp. They came with bowls of steamed rice. The entrees were pleasant and delightful. We each ordered drinks the Thai iced tea. It was nutty and yummy but not what I usually get as Thai iced tea lol. The restaurant is not very big so it looks like many order take out or delivery. Btw it's cash only! No cards.

    Pictured: Manchurian chow mein $12.50 and Chicken Tangra Masala $15.95 This Asian fusion restaurant had so many delicious options to choose from. We went with the manchurian chow mein and the chicken tangra masala. The chicken was very crispy and tender. Both dishes were packed with flavor and had a unique taste. If you love Chinese food with a desi twist this spot is definitely worth checking out. 8/10 Follow our insta: @nyc.halal for more halal food reviews!!

    Hidden gem! My family and I decided to come here for dinner last minute and so glad we did! This is a fusion restaurant with an EXTENSIVE menu! I mean massive.. We got the gobi Manchurian, Paneer pakora, tangra masala fried rice, basil paneer entree, manchurian chow mein and rasmalai. The gobi was FIREEE! Highly recommend! Paneer pakora was okay, would skip. The vegetable entrees were great and well seasoned. I would recommend getting the fried rice and chow mein, it was spicy and well flavored!! Everything came out quickly and service was good. this is a great family spot for family style cuisine. Will be back!

    I've been going to Tangra for 12 years now, and the food is just so consistently fantastic. We've tried every Indo-Chinese place in the city and this still is our go-to. We truly love this style of food, I go to India every year for work and while there try to hunt down good Indo-Chinese; I'd say Tangra is better than 80% of what you find even in India. Our staples are Chili Paneer Dry, Veg Manchurian with Gravy (dry is good too, but we like some sauce), Tangra Masala Chow Mein, and of course the delicious lollypop chicken. Their hot and sour soup is also great, with a nice indo-chinese take on it. We've been driving there and getting it as takeout during COV19, eating it either in the car or right down the road in a park. Freshness is *key* for this food so eat it quickly!

    I tried it this after 14 years. Chicken pakora, chicken lollipops and Manchurian chicken was good and delicious. Thank God no more waiting period. I really miss chilled lychee's with ice cream it it was different. That was disappointing.

    Me and my beautiful wife love this this beautiful hole in the wall. Amazing Indo-chinese fusion entrees served up as you like from a friendly staff. Extremely warm hearted owner. My wifey like the mixed house noodles. I love the chili chicken dry, chicken lollipop, and the Tangra masala fried fish fritters (hidden gems). Their hot n sour soup is well balanced and aromatic, probably the best in the city...try it... Meal for two will set you back $30-$40. Go during lunch for their value-based lunch combos. $7-$8 an entree, can't beat it.

    chicken hot and sour soup: good

    Glad I can cross trying Indian/Chinese food off my list! Dined-in on a Sunday evening for dinner around 7:30pm and got seated right away. We started out with the Chicken Hot & Sour Soup which was pretty good. My favorite was the Lollypop Chicken. The chicken had a beautifully crisped skin and I was lathering the chicken with the sauce that came with the dish. It was so good. We also got the Tiger Prawns with Ginger and Scallion and the Gobi Manchurian. Both were good but I think the overall meal was pretty heavy on the gravy, so I'd suggest diversifying. Definitely worth the visit!

    This is an Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant, a cuisine that is enjoyed in Indian communities around the world. I went here for lunch with a friend and it was an okay meal, but not great. We had the chilli chicken, chilli tofu, and vegetable pakora as an appetizer. The quantity of food they give is not that big, but their prices are very reasonable. The chicken and tofu dishes were both good. Chilli chicken is made with crispy breaded chicken (similar in texture to sesame chicken) covered in a spicy sauce. The meat here was fairly moist. The chilli sauce they used for the chicken and tofu was the same and is fairly spicy - definitely not for those who can't handle spice. The vegetable pankora was very bad though. It was very hard and dry and was obviously old and microwaved.

    This is a standard inexpensive Chinese take out place. I ordered a sesame chicken combo. The…read morechicken itself was fine, though nothing special. The egg roll was pretty good, probably the best thing about the combo. The fried rice was very bland. I would have preferred white rice, but there was no option to switch that on the delivery app I ordered from. The food was ready quickly and arrived hot. Overall there are better Chinese restaurants in this area, and I don't think I would order from this one again.

    So the food is mixed between really good and very bland, which is why they get a middle rating…read more The white rice is actually good. I know it's hard to rate white rice, but I love white rice and have standards to it. It has flavor and slight stickiness, which is my preference. The mapo tofu is generic like everywhere else. The sauce is not spicy and resembles the same brown sauce you find on other Chinese food. The tofu is great though - it's still soft instead of chewy. The ground pork tastes similar to the pork inside dumplings. The fried rice is super bland and could use salt. The crazy part is the pork pieces - they are AMAZING. They are on par with Texas BBQ. I could eat a plate of just the pork pieces in the fried rice. The egg foo young was really good too and huge portions. Overall, some things were flavorless and some things were amazing.
